The film centers around a struggling single mother (Krause) who takes a late night job in security at an apartment building with a terrifying history.

Mark Margolis co-stars. The film is directed by Eytan Rockaway and was scripted by Ido Fluk.

Rockaway said “As filmmaker from New York, I’ve always looked at IFC for their stamp of quality.”

Arianna Bocco (SVP of acquisitions for Sundance Selects/IFC Films) negotiated the the deal with CAA (on behalf of the filmakers).
